Alkalanizing Diet: Key to Health
Through the Ayurvedic lens of seeing disease all problems arise in the GIT(gastrointestinal tract) when it is inflammed with acidic blood pH in the range of 5.5 to 6.5 Alkalinizing the GIT using diet is fundamental to healing the disease This also helps heal over time the microbiome that is universally affected in these conditions A unique combination of alkalinizing greens and protein can make a complete meal or as side dish for other foods on the table(can be used with squash, grain, and chutney). Using ghee and water separates the lipid and water soluble materials from the ingredients which aids in the digestion, absorption, and assimilation of the food The alkalinizing impact of the steamed greens heals an acidic inflammatory environment of an unhealthy GI tract and its agni

Instructions
Heat 1-2 inches water into a 2 quart pan with 2T ghee and 2t spice mixture. Add greens(remove the fibrous steams in kale and collard greens using only the leaf) and steam with cover on the skillet. If adding denser vegetables steam them first eg broccoli before adding the greens. Steam until the greens become bright green. If you want a juicier green dish you can add water. Place in food processor and process after adding soma salt, lime juice, and tapioca flour.
Place a bunch of subtle greens and complete processing. Do not cook the subtle greens with the rough greens.The vegan powder(chandika.com) can be mixed 4T powder and 8oz water and added to the green composite in the food processor or you can simply sprinkle it over the greens
Add 1t olive oil if not cooking with chicken which is best when boiled. If using eggs cook scrambled and can then add to the green processed mixture. Another way to add the eggs is to poach them is boiling water, place them on toast with ghee, and place the green composite over the top of the poached eggs.
Detoxification and the Green Composite Protein Recipe(GCPR)Toxins(Ayurveda calls this ama) will be liberated using this recipe so you may have some mild physiologic effects when beginning. If you have a more severe reaction you should contact me. The use of the GCPR can be beneficial as any liberation of toxin can be easily received as the GI tract is alkalinized and healthy.Release of toxic load has to be done in order to regain health
